Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 389

Chapter 389: Chapter 389

"Jennifer, are you done with your stuff? Come grab some fruit, keep your mouth moist," Phillip said with a grin.

She must have had a bit of a tiff with someone just now.

"Jennifer, I heard someone was messing with you, even spiked your drink?" Shirley was taken aback, even a little pissed. "Who on earth would do such a thing?"

"No worries, I’ve got it under control," Jennifer smiled gracefully.

Noticing she hadn’t had any fruit, Phillip had someone bring over coffee, but Jennifer declined with a laugh. "The girl I met on the road suggested I cut back on coffee, as it could react with the medication and interfere with its effectiveness."

She’d had her doctor friend check it out, and they thought the prescription was top-notch.

Her friends were all worried when they found out she’d taken C30, as there’s no antidote, but that girl was able to help her detox in no time and prescribed such a great medication.

They can’t stop singing praises for the girl’s medical skills and prescription, and they even wanted to get to know her.

While Jennifer liked her, she regretted it even more.

Phillip didn’t expect his daughter-in-law to be so satisfied with the girl. "Speaking of which, if you meet Rose tonight, you’ll definitely like her. You’ll find no girl can hold a candle to her."

"Dad, don’t be so absolute. The girl I met yesterday was smart, beautiful, and very capable."

"No way," Phillip said, shaking his head with a laugh. "I’ve never met a girl better than Rose."

"I’ll invite her over in a few days. Let you see for yourself."

Jennifer couldn’t help but feel the girl she met, Melody, was the best in the world.

But Shirley couldn’t help but laugh. "It sounds like you want to bring her home as your daughter-in-law."

"Well, I really do have that in mind, but she already has a boyfriend. Speaking of which, she seems to know Romeo. I saw her driving his car."

"No way."

This time, both Phillip and Shirley burst out laughing.

"Jennifer, you’ve been away for too long, you’re out of touch. No one but Rose is allowed to touch any of his personal stuff."

"That’s right, only Rose can touch his stuff."

"No way, he must have good female friends in private," Jennifer said, dismissive. "After all, it’s just driving, not kissing or hugging."

But could the bodyguard have gotten the license plate number wrong? It was so dark last night, and Romeo had so many cars, it would be normal for the bodyguard to misread the number.

Jennifer thought to herself, there’s no girl more likeable than Melody.

"Jennifer, how long are you guys staying this time?" Phillip asked again.

"In a couple of days, we’ll be outta here," she replied. She just needed to meet up with Melody, and then it’s time to go.

Otherwise, their relatives and friends, who were always in the know, would start dropping by once they heard that they were back. They’ll be asking for help with all sorts of things.

They thought they were pretty slick, being careful about where they went and keeping their return under wraps. But somehow, the news still got out.

You gotta hand it to them, these people knew how to sniff out gossip.

"Stay a bit longer," Shirley pleaded. "You and George should drop by the Collins family more often. Their daughter is such a catch, and Romeo swooped in and took her away in no time. We should pay them a visit."

"Right on," Phillip nodded approvingly. "You and George definitely need to visit them more."

Jennifer sighed inwardly. No matter how outstanding, no one could hold a candle to Melody. Melody was the ideal daughter-in-law in her eyes.

Jennifer couldn’t resist messaging Melody on WhatsApp.

[Melody, what are you up to?]

Rosemary replied promptly: [Shopping.]

[What are you planning to buy? I can help you pick.] Jennifer was eager to help.

[All done shopping.] Rosemary had just paid, and after a thought, she asked, [Are you feeling better today?]

Jennifer was over the moon! Melody cared about her!

[I’m much better, your remedy worked wonders! How are you so amazing? You seem to know everything.] Jennifer couldn’t resist asking, [Do you live in Summerfield?]

[Yes.]

[We live in Summerfield too. Let’s meet up for some tea soon. I owe you a big thank you. I managed to find the person who poisoned me, thanks to you!]

Jennifer sighed again. [I’ve known her for twenty years, and to think she’d want to kill me over some petty gains.]

[People are like that,] Rosemary, her hands full of shopping bags, sent back a voice message: "It’s okay if you’re doing better than me, but not too much better. Otherwise, your happiness only serves to highlight my unhappiness. So, from admiration to jealousy, and then from jealousy to hatred, if you don’t adjust your mindset in time, you’ll end up making the wrong move."

[Melody, how do you know all these life lessons? And your voice is so beautiful!]

Jennifer didn’t expect such wisdom from a girl in her teens. And her voice was simply stunning.

She was drawn in by her voice during their chat last night.

And now, listening to her voice so closely, her captivating voice was just magnetic.

[I wonder if things would have turned out differently if I had cut ties with her sooner.] Jennifer pondered.

"Right, haven’t you noticed? People who rarely change friends usually grow at the same pace as their friends. But those who grow rapidly tend to change friends quickly too. Because their social circles are different. Trying to force a relationship would only make the other party uncomfortable." Jennifer listened to her advice, deep in thought.

"Some friends are only meant to accompany you for a certain part of your life’s journey. There’s no need to feel regret. As long as you gave all your heart during the time you spent together and truly felt joy, even if the end result wasn’t what you hoped for or even if you had to pay a price, you’d still gain something, right? You’ll definitely meet better friends in the future."

[Do you think I could meet better friends?]

"Of course, you’re a great person. You’re sure to meet friends who truly care about you."
